Removal Procedure

    Caution: Disconnect the power window switch when working inside the driver door. When operated, the Express Up/Down Feature allows the door window to move very quickly, without stopping, which could cause personal injury.

    Important: When removing a door trim panel or switch plate, the ignition switch must be in the OFF position. This will eliminate the possibility of shorting out the switch if a flat-bladed tool, awl or metal object is used to remove the switch from the harness.

    Important: Use protective coating/tape at the point of insertion of the flat surface tool. Damage to the inner door panel may occur.

  1. Use a flat-bladed tool in order to remove the power window and door lock switch plate assembly from the trim panel.
  2. Insert the tool at the rear of the switch plate. Press forward in order to release the switch plate retainers.
  3. Disconnect the electrical connector.
